2007 Plant-Herbivore Interactions Gordon Research Conference, to be held February 18-23, 2007 in Ventura California.

第10届戈登植物-食草动物相互作用研究会议将于2007年2月举行，标志着一个非常成功的会议系列的第27个年头。该计划有25名科学家，他们目前正在进行开创性和令人兴奋的研究，他们的方法包括新的概念或方法。主要研究领域包括：1）功能基因组学、生物化学和生理学; 2）历史视角下的植物-食草动物相互作用; 3）多物种和间接相互作用; 4）海洋系统中的植物-食草动物相互作用; 5）进化视角下的植物-食草动物相互作用; 6）植物-食草动物相互作用和全球变化; 7）大组织和空间尺度下的植物-食草动物相互作用;（8）植物-食草动物相互作用研究的前景。该计划包括常年要求以及新颖的主题的混合，既有经验和理论的重点。采用的科学方法将涵盖从分子遗传学到化学到社区和生态系统生态学的范围。像所有戈登会议一样，这次会议在早上和晚上举行正式会议，下午早些时候可以自由进行即兴实地考察，讨论和研讨会。正式会议已经安排，以最大限度地讨论;程序主席将选择，提前，讨论领导人已知刺激合议讨论。每天下午晚些时候的海报会议，茶点，以促进轻松和欢乐的气氛，将进一步激发讨论。所有与会者都将被鼓励提交海报，历史表明，几乎所有人都会这样做。更广泛的影响：这次会议，像它的前辈，将确定在这一领域的研究在未来几年的路线。它将促进新的合作，新方法和理论的发展，以及年轻/新兴科学家和该领域领先研究人员之间的互动。

The 10th Gordon Research Conference on Plant-Herbivore Interactions, which will be held in February 2007, marks the 27th year of an exceedingly successful conference series. The program features 25 scientists who are currently conducting pioneering and exciting research, and whose approaches include new concepts or methods. Major topical areas to be addressed will be 1) Functional genomics, biochemistry and physiology, 2) Plant-herbivore interactions in historical perspective, 3) Multi-species and indirect interactions, 4) Plant-herbivore interactions in marine systems, 5) Plant-herbivore interactions in evolutionary perspective, 6) Plant-herbivore interactions and global change, 7) Plant-herbivore interactions at large organizational and spatial scales, and 8) The future for plant-herbivore interactions research. The program comprises a mix of perennially requested as well as novel topics, with both empirical and theoretical emphases. Scientific approaches employed will span the range from molecular genetics to chemistry to community and ecosystem ecology.Like all Gordon Conferences, this conference has formal sessions in the morning and evening, leaving early afternoons free for impromptu field trips, discussions, and workshops. The formal sessions have been scheduled to maximize discussion; program chairs will select, in advance, discussion leaders known to stimulate collegial discussion. Daily poster sessions in the late afternoon, with refreshments to promote a relaxed and convivial atmosphere, will additionally stimulate discussion. All attendees will be encouraged to submit posters, and history suggests that nearly all will do so.Broader Impacts: This conference, like its predecessors, will set the course for research in this field for years to come. It will stimulate new collaborations, the development of new methodologies and theories, and interactions among young/emerging scientists and leading researchers in the field.
